"Officers saw the guy driving a stick shift -- like he didn't know how to drive a stick shift," Kevany said. "He made eye contact with the officers and drove away."

The suspect eventually abandoned the vehicle, and ran from it. A perimeter was set up in the area of 18th Street and Westmoreland Avenue, where the suspect was arrested after three hours, the police sergeant said. No one was hurt.

Kevany said he had no description of the vehicle, other than its transmission.
